Through the act of writing, Loyah, a woman in her late twenties, begins retracing the paths of her childhood. What starts as a journey of self-discovery quickly transforms into a confrontation with long-suppressed memories. The film delicately unravels the fragile threads of memory, identity, and family.

Five friends come together to share music from back home. Through music, they reflect on what loss, nostalgia, and the universality of music mean for them. They go on a journey through the afterlife of Zubeen Garg and Tom Chang’s artistry, finally reaching the sense of community alive in Ambedkarite music. Initially, what seemed like three different worlds later merged together through the common theme of freedom, resilience, rebellion, and love. Through archives of the artists and conversations with fans,  the filmmakers look at how the artists and their art get immortalised even after their physical demise. The film is the result of five filmmakers from different parts of the country and the world coming together with a shared goal of making a film about music.

Madness of Medley poster
NR

A small karaoke studio becomes a quiet refuge for a group of strangers turned friends. Over the course of four years, music weaves together lives, creating deep bonds among regulars. Through music, they’ve found connection, routine, and a sense of belonging in a city that can often feel distant, overwhelming and alienating. What began as casual visits slowly turned into a small community built on singing and shared experiences. The film follows “Jyoti More and Groups” as they come together to prepare for a grand celebration marking a journey of their community.
